Doubtful. It's more to do with population density, climate, and concentration of services.

#12What people dont realize is that leetcode problem style testing is a very eastern/asian approach to hiring. Memorization for a test with a large body of problems ends up selecting for people that grew up in those cultures....

Aren't most of the absurdly rich people in California white people? To me it seems like Asians in SF as a race are more in a middle to upper middle "professional" class, hardly the group of people to fix very hard social issues such as homelessness.

Eastern religious actually talk a lot about material pleasures and how they are harmful. Both Buddhism and Hinduism are very much against "showing off" or "accumulating wealth". In fact, Buddhism clearly says - "Desire is the root cause of all sufferings". That said, most immigrants from Asia are used to seeing poverty and homelessness everywhere, so it probably just feels like the extension of that in the west. Also Hindu text talks about - कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥ २-४७ - which literally means you only have right to perform your duty (karma) you have no right to expect the fruit of your duty (karma). This whole bastardised definition of "karma" doesn't fit with the values that I was brought up with.
(Disclaimer: I grew up Hindu in India, but I am no longer religious, I would identify myself as atheist/agnostic/rationalist/freethinker.)

#16I always find it funny how there are massive east asian only groups in all major corporate entities. This is not diversity, this is racism. Nice work FANG.

#17Maybe i'm being ignorant, but why don't you just not work for the company that has few or no Indians? Because other nations of course don't know about which last name means which caste or would ever care about it, you won't be a subject for discrimination. And besides, these places will probably pay better anyway.
People should not have to curtail their life choices in order to bow to unjust systems or experiences.

#18Why did you want to join Google, and what did you feel about the place when you did? tanuja gupta: I started working at Google in 2011. I had been working as a program manager in engineering and software for about a decade, but Google was top of the top. Of course you want a career at a great company. That was a product that I used day in and day out. It was a great opportunity Heh, I was expecting an emotional lie/r…
i would be surprised of the contrary

#19(Outside looking in perspective. I am not Indian.)
When I worked as a software engineer are capital one earlier in my career, thus was a very noticeable trend.
You had entire teams/groups (and to some extent geographical regions given the way the capital one workforce was split between Richmond Virginia, McLean Virginia, and NYC) where particular castes grouped together.
It became particularly acute when you took into account who was on visa/sponsored and who was not.

Because they are American citizens and deserve the same opportunities as everyone.
